2009 Chevrolet Matiz 1.0L Petrol · MF59 UBR

The 2009 Chevrolet Matiz has a mixed MOT history, with recent failures indicating recurring issues. The most recent 2025-11-24 MOT shows the vehicle passed and failed on the same day, with failures including non-working windscreen washers, position lamps, and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. These issues suggest ongoing problems with electrical systems and tyre condition. A 2024-11-28 MOT also recorded failures for front position lamps, indicating a pattern of recurring electrical faults. Earlier, a 2023-12-02 MOT noted suspension arm ball joint play and a worn strut pin, but no subsequent MOTs mention these issues, suggesting potential repairs. However, the 2025 failures imply that some problems persist, particularly with lighting and tyre wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 64,451 miles over 17 years equates to roughly 3,791 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity, which may contribute to electrical component degradation or tyre wear from standing. However, the low mileage does not necessarily reflect heavy wear on mechanical systems like brakes or suspension, as these were not cited in recent MOTs. The trend shows some stability, with no major mechanical failures in the last two MOTs.
